Charles Phillip
Caroline Lake
Mary Amelia
Laura Elizabeth
Caroline Celestia "Carrie"
Charles Frederick "Freddy"
Grace Pearl

Mary Amelia is quite interesting.
I'm intrigued by combos of a first common/classic/plain name with a more sophisticated middle name, like Maria Josephine or Anne Madeline.

They are pretty much lovely names generally, though Celestia makes me think of Anne Heche in her crazy stage.

Charles Philippe looks nicer, but Phillip is okay too. Caroline Lake is a nice and somewhat dreamy name. Mary Amelia and Laura Elizabeth too, I like it! :) Caroline Celestia (god, this is nice. Celeste or Celestia) as well as Charles Frederick.

For some reason, I'm not to partial to the name Grace. :| But Pearl is okay.

Oh my god! I loved those books as a child! I used to run around in calico dresses and pretend to be Laura!
I like Caroline Celestia for some odd reason.
Caroline Lake is cool too. Lake- i've never thought of that before.
O man i miss those books! I've forgotten all about the names!

I loved loved loved those books as a child, and because of them I think the name Laura is quite pretty.

I admit to still watching the series on TvLand and the Hallmark channel when I can. And I read all the books when I was younger.

Most of the combinations are a breath of fresh air if they were too be used today. I love Charles, particularly, and Amelia.
